Abstract

This qualitative study explores youth’ perception of opportunities for mobile learning (M-Learning) as a means to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Data were collected through the qualitative case study of a M-Learning project called the 8th e-ICON World Contest hosted by Korean Ministry of Education and the Hawaii Department of Education. Drawing on youth’ insights and their knowledge as a basis for exploring the potential of M-Learning, the study recommends three areas for the integration of M-Learning with a view to achieving SDGs as follows: (1) M-Learning for improving access to education; (2) M-Learning for improving the quality of education; (3) M-Learning for building and scaling up collective partnership. The study also confirms that youth could play an active role in utilising opportunities of M-Learning to address the current educational development agenda and suggests how M-Learning can be conceptualized as a development intervention.
